The notch on a MacBook is strange real estate.
It is always there. It sits at the top of the screen, close to the menu bar, close to system controls, close to whatever you are doing. But most of the time it is treated like a cutout to design around instead of a place software can use.
That felt like a missed opportunity.
So I built SwiftNotch, a macOS menu bar app that turns the notch area into an expandable productivity dashboard. Hover near the notch or press Option + Space, and the quiet black shape becomes a small command center for widgets, files, media, shortcuts, developer tools, and window actions.
